Hi folks. Another late release this week. I scrapped my original newsletter that I was going to send Thursday morning when I saw the terrible news that Orlando of A Collector’s Dream has lung cancer and is undergoing surgery to remove part of his lung:

No, that’s not clickbait in the title.

This is, quite obviously, terrible news. The vintage cards YouTube community is tight, and this will send shockwaves through it.

I texted Orlando 1 minute after his video came out, but I think he had already shut his phone off for surgery.

I feel helpless. What can we do? I’m terrible at this stuff, but am happy to help in any way.

In the meantime, please go and send your support in his comments section on that video.

Your characterization of Orlando is 100% spot on-- a gem of a person. Hoping for the best.

Absolutely heartbreaking... Completely choked up when Orlando signed off at the end with "I hope to catch you on the next one". It was good to see him staying positive though. As nice and kind as they come...salt of the earth! I wish more of us (including me) were more like Orlando!

Godspeed, Orlando. Hope to see you soon... All the best!
